Post Dell SAS6/iR or SAS5/iR
This card isn't listed on the Whitebox HCL, but on http://www.vmug.nl it's suggested that it's an usable card... Who knows if i can use the SAS5 or SAS6 SATA RAID controller card?

Those are RAID 0/1 only cards. They are supported.

I know, it's only for a small server but i want to have it in RAID 1. So you are sure the SAS5 wil work on ESXi 4? It ain't on the Whitebox HCL?

Kind and hopefull regards,

Hans.

I only track stuck that is not on the official HCL. Both the 5/ir and 6/ir are on VMware's HCL - see the above links.

I use the 5/i. Just put it in the box, configure the raid on boot, boot normally to ESXi, and add the storage in VMWare. Couldn't get easier.
